Rural business internet

Trusted by leading companies

Inseego understands the need for reliable & robust rural business internet

For rural businesses and government entities operating in remote areas, traditional broadband internet through fiber-optic or cable is often unavailable or too costly. Inseego unifies the wireless edge with an enterprise-grade broadband alternative, delivering high-speed internet to locations that previously relied on slow satellite internet, outdated dial-up, or unreliable DSL.

Outdoor fixed wireless for rural internet enablement with Inseego FWA receivers

Reach distant rural towers with high-gain antennas

Phones or consumer hotspots often struggle in rural areas where internet service is limited by distance. Inseego FWA receivers utilize high-gain directional sub-6 antennas (up to 18 dBi) and ultra-wideband mmWave phased arrays (up to 28 dBi) engineered to amplify weak signals. This establishes a reliable connection up to 20 km from a tower, far surpassing legacy satellite or slow DSL connections.

Instant "Day-One" internet access

Waiting for providers to trench fiber internet or cable to a business in a remote area can take months, or realistically, never happen. Inseego’s entire portfolio of FWA and MiFi devices provides enterprise-grade router and modem solutions for instant wireless internet access on day one, almost anywhere.

Ruggedized reliability for remote areas

Rural deployments mean exposure to harsh environments. Inseego outdoor receivers feature industrial IP66/IP67-rated, UV-resistant weatherproof housings built to operate in severe temperatures (-40°C to +70°C). This ensures mission-critical connections remain active through heavy rain, snow, and high winds.

Self-guided signal optimization

Finding the strongest internet connection in rural areas is simple with the Inseego Mobile app. It allows users to verify real-time signal metrics (RSRP/SINR) and bandwidth metrics to ensure the device is perfectly positioned for the best signal before permanent mounting or placement.

Simplified mounting on existing rural infrastructure

Inseego receivers feature versatile bracket systems that allow for quick installation on grain silos, utility poles, or rooftops. Power over Ethernet (PoE) ensures that organizations only need a single cable run to get the site live.

Dual-carrier load balancing for mission-critical reliability

In areas where carrier coverage can be spotty, integrated dual-SIM capability allows devices to monitor two cellular networks simultaneously and automatically switch to a secondary provider if the primary carrier experiences an outage.

Enable high-capacity rural office hubs with Inseego cellular routers & FastMile gateways
